Q

peds CPR <12 months

A

CARDIAC ARREST IN INFANTS IS USUALLY D/T RESP ETIOLOGY

  1. checks pulse no longer than 10 seconds
  2. call for help (activate EMS, delagate for someone to call 911/get AED)
  3. chest compressions
    rate 100-120
    ** two fingers/two thumbs on sternum
    **infant 1/3 chest, child 2 inch

single rescuer = 30:2

  1. continue until signs of help arrive or AED is available
17
Q

sensorimotor stage

A

age 0-2

  • development thru 5 senses
  • development thru motor response
  • object permanence

18
Q

preoperational stage

A

2-7 years

  • head and neck muscles are not well developed
  • brain is highly vascular = incr risk for hemorrhage
  • spine = very mobile = incr risk for cervical spine injury
  • immature immune systems, limited exposure to disease
  • myelinization is incomplete at birth… happens head to tail
  • kidneys are larger in relation to abdomen… less protection… GFR slower
